John-Mark's dedication and a little snow :)

Sunday, March 1st John-Mark was "officially" dedicated to the Lord at our church. Of course from the moment he was conceived we have known that he is a gift from God and that he really isn't ours, but His and we just get the wonderful honor of being his mommy and daddy. While believing that is so comforting it can also be hard at times to remember that and truly live out our lives that way. Thankfully we are a part of a wonderful church that is committed to helping us as we raise our little world changers!
This picture was taken just before Pastor Chris gave Jeremy the mic - only we heard it but James gave out a big man burp! Jeremy and I both looked at him and cracked up and both of our first thought was "thank goodness it's just a burp" because the day before he had thrown up! Wouldn't that have been lovely on stage!

How handsome are these two?

When we woke up Sunday morning, much to my surprise our trees and yard were COVERED with snow! I couldn't believe it. We had atleast 3 inches on the ground! Had it not been for John-Mark's dedication we may have skipped church but we got up and got everyone ready. It was like the twilight zone at church - I've never seen so few cars in the parking lot for a 9:30 service - it made for a very quaint little church service. When we came out of church it was snowing even harder than when we got there! But then, as quickly as it came the sun came out and everything started melting away. I have no pics of the boys playing in the snow because they both passed out when we got home from church and by the time they got up it was starting to melt:( James got to enjoy it last year - hopefully this won't be their last chance to see snow for a while - but you never know what's going to happen here in the south!

The playset covered!This is part of our drive way - we have a really long drive and I wish this picture could do it justice - it was really beautiful (although a bit treacherous) with all the limbs hanging down, covered in snow!
